Backbencher

Yesterday we had a quest lecture from the University of the Sunshine Coast. Joanne Scott started off talking about the Uni, which I have seen many pictures from recently with a lot of friends studying abroad there. From what I have seen the campus is a very open one, with a lot to do. Scott made a comment about the kangaroo’s that are on the campus, which reminded me of last year when I got an email from a friend telling me that he had to go the hospital because he was attacked by one of them, and I’m not even kidding. He is the one statistic they have about kangaroo attacks.

Other than the campus, Scott discussed the agriculture fair, the Expedition, and all that goes on during it and the progression it has made over time. There were the changes from the merry-go-rounds, to the different side shows, and the competitions throughout the fair. It was funny when she was talking about the old times when there was poop flinging contests of some sort, and how sadly enough they do not have that anymore.

The pictures that Scott in her slideshow made the fair look extremely fun and something that would be rather interesting to go to. It did remind me of the MN state fair, but I think this one would be more of an experience then just seeing bunnies in a cage.
